    Great selection of drinks--sodas, beers, coffee--that you can take in to the theater. Nice intimate space to see plays. Chairs are very squeaky, though.

    They have free WiFi, which you'll need because it's difficult to get a signal inside the theatre spaces.

    Sit close to the front, the actors tend to be low talkers.
